Developments towards massively parallel code bases for use on next-generation hardware at NERSC

Tracking software development, both for the Run-2 ATLAS detector and for ITK (including the extended b-layer)

Simulation and event generation software in the context of the ATLAS PMG and Simulation groups

The group is involved in a large number of physics analyses, not limited to any single physics group in ATLAS. Over the last few years we have led analyses in the Standard Model, Top, Higgs, SUSY, and Exotics physics groups. We also have a significant role in the PMG. Some of the group's recent analyses include:

Multi-lepton exotics searches

Di-lepton SUSY searches

Differential cross sections for top quarks produced in association with jets

There is significant expertise available on-site for all aspects of an analysis, from event generation through DPD making through systematics and unfolding. We also have regular discussions with the LBL Theory Group about topics of interest.
